We were so lucky to be in Mauritius during Maha Shivaratri! Also known as the "Great Night of Shiva", it is the most important hindu festivals outside India.Thousands of Hindus, carrying flower-adorned arches decorated with tiny mirrors, paper and flower garlands (the Kanwars), embark on a pilgrimage to the Grand Bassin volcanic lake. Once they're at the lake, they collect holy water, bathe statuettes of Lord Shiva, perform their Pujas (little lights on banana leaves and flowers are set adrift on the water and food sacrifices are made) and hold other special religious ceremonies.
